82 years old (Born on May 13, 1942)
Happy birthday to the legendary Vladimir Dzhanibekov— a fearless traveler who accumulated more frequent flyer miles in space than most of us have on Earth! Five cosmic voyages and 145 days spent floating through orbit later, you still hold everyone's favorite record: mastering zero gravity without losing your sense of humor!Back here on solid ground, from commanding spacecrafts to navigating politics as Deputy for Uzbekistan’s Supreme Soviet, you've demonstrated political agility worthy of interstellar admiration. On this timeless journey around the sun we call life, may tan lines fade quickly—but memories (and celebrated flips aboard Salyut stations!) last forever. Happy Birthday!
